A USED & WORN Pilots USSR Wrist Watch

(JC589) A Superb refurbished manual wind Wrist Watch as manufactured for pilots and air crew in the Soviet Union during the 1940-60 period.
The watch is one of a very few that have been recently discovered in the Molnija watch factory in the former USSR these watches were modelled on the German Laco Luftwaffe watches. The watch has been rebuilt the old original movement with a new stainless steel case and mineral front glass fitted. The watch also benefits from a nice new leather strap and case to hold it. The movement has been cleaned and oiled when it was hand finished by the watch factory, a prestigious firm. The watch is in perfect working order and has a nice large face being approximately 48 mm wide, not including the crown winder. These are nice and chunky making it easy to wind the watch. Once wound, it won't need re-winding for 30 hours or so. As a manual wristwatch, it is accurage within 2 minutes over a 24 hour period which is to be expected. It is robust and strong in construction, but like all mechanical pieces, it should be treated with respect, as I feel the watch is an investment not just a working item.
The watch is anti-magnetic and has an 18 jewelled movement.
Very nice watch to find with a quality built movement. A very masculine design. GBP £85.00
